We’ve all been trapped in a window seat, had our drink dumped on us by a climber in our aisle seat, and fought the elbow olymics from the middle. This story by Paul Lynch is the sum of all misguided seat selection.  You can’t win and he proves it.  Enjoy!   I am now an [...]

If you are on a plane where you clearly know that seats recline, how can you be surprised when the seat in front of you reclines? And how do you justify being annoyed about it. Get over yourself, recline into the lap of the person behind you and read how stupid you sound on CNN [...]

Airlines seem to at least be getting the message that if you are obese and unable to fit into one seat, you are required to buy a second seat - preferably in the same row. But what about those tall people?  The ones you enjoy watching clip their heads on the TV and overhead bins when boarding. Two [...]

Boeing has reached agreement with Space Adventures Ltd. to shoot people into space -  okay, I meant fly people into space. They can take seven people and I’m already making my list.  Let’s see, there’s the creepy guy neighbor that stares at me in his long blonde ladies wig; the teacher/nun in second grade who was quick [...]

This photographer spent five days and nights at JFK documenting the crazy stuff people try to smuggle into the country. At least she got some good stuff, like uh, how do I say this delicately …  a deer penis! Okay, I can understand the illegal Louis Vuitton bags and Viagra, but really? Makes you kind [...]

Don’t they kick the tires when they’re out doing their pre-flight thing and having a last smoke? Maybe their list just says to check the tires, not notice if they’re round or [...]

A new airline passenger seat design was unveiled today. It would reduce the space between you and the moron in front of you by about ten inches. That’s reduce, not increase. And, the best part is that the back is pitched forward so it feels like you’re riding a horse, with a stranger on the back. [...]

I may complain beyond your comfort level about how much flying on commercial airlines annoys me, but get a load of this video posted on Rick Sanchez’ Blog. This cruise ship was struck by a crazy big wave and people are getting tossed everywhere, and so is the furniture.  In this particular case, I stand corrected … [...]

Kulula Airlines, based in Johannesburg, South Africa, definitely knows how to do it right. Their planes are painted neon green with instructional text and arrows pointing out components of the aircraft - like under the window where the pilot sits says The Big Cheese. And over on the co-pilot side of the plane, The other guy on the PA system.  [...]

So, you’re packing your suitcase … toothbrush CHECK, Playboy CHECK, Tiger HUH? What is this guy thinking? You can’t even take water through security and he thinks Tony the Tiger will slip right through.  Hey, relax, it was drugged… FOR NOW!  What about when it wakes up and wants his peanuts? Or wants to watch a [...]
